Line 6 HX Stomp XL Guitar Multi-effects Floor Processor -NEW
In brief: Guitar Multi-FX Pedal and Amp Modeler with 8 Footswitches, 300+ Sounds, Analog and Digital I/O, and True Bypass Switching
An expanded take on the ultra-compact HX Stomp, the Line 6 HX Stomp XL delivers the same award-winning Helix sound engine with added control, flexibility, and performance power. Designed for players who want Helix-quality tones in a pedalboard-friendly format, the HX Stomp XL adds eight capacitive-touch footswitches, enhanced MIDI control, and an intuitive pedal edit mode—making it equally effective as a standalone rig or the command center of a sophisticated MIDI-based setup.
Powered by a single SHARC ADSP-21469 processor, the HX Stomp XL provides up to eight processing blocks per preset, covering amps, cabs, and effects from the entire Helix family library. Each preset also includes four snapshots, allowing seamless switching between tonal variations without audio dropouts—perfect for dynamic live performances.
With 128 factory presets onboard, the HX Stomp XL is ready for real-world gigging right out of the box. Presets are thoughtfully organized by instrument and application, including direct-to-PA and 4-cable amp routing, making it fast and intuitive to find inspiring tones or build custom patches.
Modern amp users will appreciate the HX Stomp XL’s integrated 4-cable method support, which allows you to place effects both before and after your amp’s preamp section. Front-end effects like drives, filters, and wahs can be paired with post-preamp delays, reverbs, and modulation for studio-quality signal routing. Several presets are preconfigured for 4-cable setups, providing an instant starting point for customization.
Extensive I/O makes the HX Stomp XL adaptable to virtually any rig. Stereo TS inputs and balanced TRS outputs ensure clean signal flow with both guitar amps and professional audio gear, while an onboard effects loop lets you integrate favorite external pedals anywhere in your chain. MIDI in/out enables deep integration with switchers, amps, and other MIDI-enabled devices, while a TRS expansion jack supports up to two expression pedals or additional external footswitches. USB connectivity allows for easy patch management, firmware updates, and recording.
Performance control is front and center thanks to eight capacitive-touch footswitches with bright, color-coded LED rings for instant visual feedback on dark or brightly lit stages. Simply touch a switch to edit its assigned parameter, adjust settings, and save—no menu diving required. A built-in 6-switch looper makes the HX Stomp XL especially appealing to loop-based performers.
The HX Stomp XL also excels as a MIDI command center, offering up to 102 customizable MIDI-CV controllers for foot-tappable control of external pedals, amp channel switching, preset changes, and more. Onboard tap tempo keeps time-based effects perfectly synchronized across your entire rig.
In the studio, the HX Stomp XL doubles as a multichannel USB audio interface, delivering pristine 24-bit/96kHz audio for recording and reamping. True bypass switching ensures complete signal integrity when integrating the unit into traditional pedalboards.
Support for third-party cabinet impulse responses further expands tonal possibilities, while the HX audio engine ensures every amp, cab, and effect responds with realistic dynamics and feel. With Helix 3.50 firmware and later, users gain access to a completely revamped IR-based cabinet engine, featuring multiple guitar and bass cabs, selectable microphones, adjustable mic placement, new amp models, new effects, and a Dual IR block for even deeper tone shaping.
Compact, powerful, and endlessly flexible, the Line 6 HX Stomp XL delivers professional-grade Helix performance for players who demand maximum control without sacrificing pedalboard space.
